Teresa Tomás

Teresa Tomás initiates her career as a sculptress in 1985. Since her first exhibition Todos somos Lagarpos, there is present in her work a strong narrative content that leads her to the creation of an environment where the pieces could recreate a story. Another feature of her artwork is the use of games (see for example Jaque Tate, 1987), both in its playful dimension and in its combination of strategies.

During 1995-2002 we can observe in Teresa Tomás sculptures a progressive integration of painting. (Los ojos del ángel (1995), Cabezas (1998), Flor (1999), Pión entra en el juego (2001), Espantapájaros (2002)). The idea of giving life to her creations leads her to use animation, and after having received a new existence in the pictorial way, the sculptures will initiate a new adventure in the 3d dimension. Teresa Tomás first 3d animation, La casa por el tejado (2004-5), initiates a new creative process with the cycle of the transformations of a water drop.

In the 80 she exhibits in Valencia in the mythic gallery Postpos and in Der Reiter. From 1998 to 2007 introduces her work in the gallery My Name’s Lolita Art, in Madrid and Valencia and every year in the stand of the gallery in ARCO. She has participated in several international events such Pieza a pieza, Área industrial or La casa que ríe and nationals such Formalismos de los 90, Imágenes de culto or Al oeste”, among others.

Her animations have been proyected in internacional festivals such Kanazawa Citizen in Japan, RuArts in Moscú, Arte Digital in La Habana and Videotage in Hong Kong, among others. In itinerancias of Instituto Cervantes in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, New Mexico y Brasilia. In Spain she exhibited in Art Inevolution, VIA-LAB, Pre-bem, Observatori and in the Video Festivals Valladolid and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

TRANSFER LOUNGE

A transfer lounge is a temporary space, a connecting point between to different places characterized by ambiguity and loss of identity. At the same time it is a period of transition that can lead us to new circumstances. TRANSFER LOUNGE is a project that involves art professionals from Spain and U.S.A and creates a unique opportunity for artists from different parts of the world to actively exchange their views and ideas around issues of mobility and transition. The artists have been invited to respond to this theme and establish prior the exhibition a dialogue within the frame of current cultural mobility. Una Sala de Tránsito es un espacio temporal relacionado con una salida y una llegada a otro lugar. Es un espacio que existe únicamente como punto de conexión y que se caracteriza por la ambigüedad y la pérdida de identidad. TRANSFER LOUNGE es un intercambio entre España y Estados Unidos que crea una oportunidad única para artistas de diferentes continentes de reunirse e intercambiar opiniones. Para ello los artistas han sido invitados a desarrollar sus ideas sobre los estados de transición y establecer un diálogo previo en torno a este tema.
